DNA STRUCTURE Flashcards
He established the basic principle of heredity
Gregor Mendel
He hypothesized that there is a “FACTOR” that can change a harmless bacteria into a harmful one
Frederick Griffith
discovered that the “transforming factor”is the DNA
Oswald Avery
Austrian biochemist, analyzed the proportion of the nitrogenous bases in the DNA of various species
Erwin chargaff
Percent of adenine, thymine. Percent of cytosine and guanine.
31, 19
DNA is the genetic material present in bacteriophages
Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase
Studied the structure of DNA using the xray
Rosalind Franklin and Maurice wilkins
Pearl of science
DNA
Article that describe the structure of the DNA as a double helix
Francis Crick and James Watson
DNA is made up
Nucleotides
Deoxy means
Without oxygen
Four nitrogenous bases
Cytosine, guanine, thymine, adenine
Pyrimidine always pair with _ that was observed by chargraff
Purine
Described as double helix
DNA
Body cell contains about
20 to 25k genes
Series of process involved in the production of protein
Protein synthesis
Process that should be done properly and precisely
Mutations
Two types of mutations
Gene and chromosome
Part of chromosome is deleted
Deletion
Chromosome became longer due to segment attached
Duplication
Attached reverse orientation
Inversion
Chromosomes interchange
Translocstion
Make up fail to Separate during meiosis
Nondisjunction
Replacement of nucleotides. Affects gametes or a sex cell
Point mutations or substitution
